Izzard Member. Sep 21, 4, How large is the PS5 version? Laserbeam Member. Oct 27, 4, Canada. I don't have mine yet, but that sounds really damn annoying. There must be a way. So like, when I put Dirt 5 in it automatically starts installing the PS4 version and you have to navigate somewhere to download the PS5 one?

Tohsaka Member. Nov 17, 5, This hasn't happened to me with AC Valhalla. I put it in the PS4 disc and claimed the PS5 version, and downloaded it.

It never tried to start installing the PS4 version, there is a "Copy" option there though. Oct 28, This is quite annoying.

After I played the PS5 version for a little bit and created a PS5 save file it seems to have fixed it. Maybe go into settings and see if there's a PS4 save file still on your system. That might be triggering it.

Had to manually go in and delete the PS4 version. Very odd. Brooks04 Member. May 9, I'm having this same issue with Borderlands 3. Haven't been able to figure out how to stop it from trying to download the PS4 version. NavyPharaoh Member. Oct 27, This is what I do. I click the game icon of the PS5 version. It would then tell me to insert the disc to play. Your game will begin downloading automatically. PlayStation App support. Upgrade an eligible PS4 game to the digital PS5 version.
